  • The story so far

Hi, I'm the parent who got tired of

6pm panic.
Kids Meal Plan started in a tiny Bristol kitchen at 5:47pm on a Tuesday. Three hungry kids, an empty fridge, and a half-baked plan to write down what actually worked.

For years, dinner with three small humans went one of two ways. Either I’d spend an hour on something Pinterest-worthy that nobody touched, or we’d default to fish fingers and frozen peas — again. Neither felt right.

So I started keeping a notebook. Not recipes I wished we ate, but the ones the kids actually finished. The ones I could throw together while half-listening to a tantrum about the wrong colour spoon. The ones that didn’t need a deli run.

“If a recipe doesn’t survive a real Tuesday, it doesn’t make it onto the site. No exceptions.”

That notebook turned into Kids Meal Plan. Every recipe here is cooked, tweaked, and re-cooked in our kitchen — usually three or four times — before it goes live. If the children push it around the plate, it gets binned. Properly tested means tested by the toughest critics in the room.

I write everything you read here. The site is supported by a small handful of affiliate partnerships — Amazon Associates UK, HelloFresh, Gousto — but I only ever recommend things I’d put in my own kitchen. You can read the full affiliate disclosure if you’d like the detail.
